This house was just as pretty in person as it is in the photos. The area is quiet and there are lovely views. We enjoyed the sunsets from the front porch. I will definitely book this home again.
Had a wonderful visit. The place is amazing. Well appointed. Everything you could possibly need and very comfortable. Great place to gather, great place to stargaze. Great place to see the sunrise and the sunset. Hope to stay here again.
This place was great 5 adults and 2 kids. It was so well stocked, it lacked nothing. Very clean Beds are very comfortable. Is was close to the main street of Ft. Davis
We attended an event at the square. The house is conveniently located near town, making it easy to go back and forth multiple times a day. However, it is also far enough from the town to provide a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.The layout was ideal for our family, with bedrooms situated on both sides of the house. The furniture is comfortable and can accommodate a large group. The pantries and bathrooms are fully stocked, and there is a washer and dryer available if needed.Communication from the manager was excellent—thorough and prompt.
The pictures and description on the VRBO site were very accurate showing a beautiful well appointed home. When we got there it was even better than the pictures. Very clean and spacious. Kitchen was completely stocked with all utensils and cooking tools. We made several dinners and lacked for nothing. Host had a guest notebook with very helpful information about the house and sightseeing. Host is also very responsive about any questions. Will definitely visit again.
Great place to stay for our family. Had everything we needed. Host was very responsive and messaged us back quickly. Easy drive to Ft Davis, the state park, and the observatory.
Such a beautiful home to have a child free weekend get away with friends! The house was everything we could have wanted and more. We will definitely be staying again if we are ever in the area.
The property was perfect for our family and centrally located to everything that we wanted to do during our stay. The house had everything we needed for our stay. The bonus was there is a horse next door named, Sally.
We enjoyed a great stay at this property. The house is very clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. My family really appreciated the well-appointed kitchen and the stylish and comfortable bedrooms. There is room to spread out, but it’s also cozy and great for a family get-away. One of the very best VRBO properties we’ve stayed at!
Beautiful property, had a wonderful stay! Will consider again next year!

Native Texan. I have been coming to this area of Big Bend for long time. Happy to have built this home out here recently. Great hiking, cycling, bird watching and star gazing. All of my favorite things
Why they chose this property
You get all the beauty of the dark skies, but drive and walk to town is convenient. Home is new and very comfortable. Road is not paved but adds to the charm of small town feel.
What makes this property unique
There is no way to describe the beauty of the mountain view from the porch and every window. The sunrise is different every morning and the light fills the entire home.
